Backup Exec Agent for Application and Database license

Hi, my customer's backup server is BE2014 SP2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Std. They want to add one more client to the backups which is a Windows server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Std) with Microsoft SQL databases. My question is:

If we need to back up both the MS SQL database and the file system (C drive, D drive, etc.) of this addtional client, does the customer need to purchase 1 x Agent for Application and Database license only or 1 x Agent for Application and Database license + 1 x Agent for Windows license? 

Thanks in advance.

  • You just need an Agent for App and Database license which also includes a Remote Agent for Windows.

    With this license you will be able to backup SQL database as well as file system.

    EDIT: You may also refer to BE2014 Licensing Guide.
